I shall take that word, for now since if she were to back down on her words, I can use this as an anchor and put your name as one of the Country’s Enemy, do I make myself clear, Heroine Suzy?
The South Commander agreed to Suzy’s terms, asking her afterward for her confirmation.
Is he one of my antagonists in the Country? Is he an advocate of it since he is a Commander?
Suzy thought, asking herself.
That’s crystal clear, Commander, now, how about we meet up in the Theist Center later? I will have to clean up here and inform the Village that the Battle has ended.
Suzy answered, suggesting them to where and when to meet up for the bounty donation.
She isn’t even thinking of the victory she got first, she just wants to tell her people that the battle ended to relieve their stress and worries, she’s not any simple protector of her homeland like what her supporters in the Country is always said.
The East Commander thought, admired Suzy’s words.
Afternoon is fine, before the sun sets, of course, we needed our rest as well after you worked us to the bone, though we may be the ones at fault here since we could have just gained a victory if we choose to attack other Villages instead, the bounty is tempting so we decided to go for it.
The Southwest Commander said, telling Suzy when to meet in the Theist Center.
That works for us, well, we will be heading back to the Village now, and you take care of your duties in the Country, I’ll see you later.
Suzy said, before heading back to the Village.
The Theist Commanders then left the Zion Environs and headed back to their Country.
| Zion Village, Zao Thesis |
Before Suzy entered the Village…
Suzy, before you go and I get these people back to their villages and in this village, I need to tell you something.
Nen called Suzy through his controlled warriors, telling her that he has something important to tell her.
Is he who I think it is?
One of the Elders thought, asking himself if the one Suzy’s talking to is Nen.
The Zionist inside are waiting for her in the Village, for the celebration of their victory, and because this is the first time that Suzy was able to fend off that many warriors on her own for the Zion Village, she will be rewarded by the Elders, not by money, but something important.
Even though I know there is a high chance that the things you need to tell me are a lie, I will still listen since you helped me, speaking of which, I never thought that there comes a day that having you help me will motivate me, and since I’m not as heartless as you are, I would like to thank you for helping me against the Theist Country’s attacks, anyway, what is it that you need to tell me?
Suzy explained, thanking Nen as she asked him.
This witch is very much annoying, for me since I can’t stand her annoying personality.
Nen thought, he’s annoyed by Suzy.
I went to the Theist Country to look for the culprit that caused so much damage.
Nen said through the controlled warriors.
I’m not going to have faith in what he said because there is a high chance he’s lying to me, but let’s try, at least.
Suzy thought, still suspicious of Nen.
Did you find out who did it?
She asked him afterward.
I do, actually, it’s Axion, that fvcking warlock.
Nen answered her question with slight remorse after saying the name even though he said it through the controlled warrior.
Your mouth, Nen, Axion? What is he doing here and why did he do that anyway? He caused me so much trouble.
Suzy asked him after scolding him.
Don’t scold me, our age is not apart from each other, and aren’t we 25? And speaking of age, we just turned 25, right? Axion… said something about that too.
Nen told her through the controlled warrior, still annoyed to speak his name.
The reasoning for it is that the warrior Nen is controlling has a hatred for the Commander of the West Commander, and Axion has been a Commander of the West section for many generations to have haters, and the warrior Nen’s controlling is from an Ancient Village in the West, he’s one of his antagonists.
What did he say? Also, I was the first one to get out of our mother’s womb, don’t forget that.
Suzy asked him as she reminds him who was born first.
Just shut up, he said that once tomorrow arrives, our lifespan will only be a year, unless we dedicate to our Awakening and reinforce it with some item, I don’t know what he meant, and I don’t know what item to even reinforce an Awakening we aren’t knowledgeable about, he wanted me to tell you that after I found out, that’s all, I will take these warriors back to their villages, I don’t know what you’ll do with this Awakening he meant, whether you believe my words or not, that’s up to you.
Nen explained to her before leaving.
Nen’s controlled warriors then returned to their villages, a few of which returned to the Zion Village since they are from there and Nen has controlled a lot of them before he left, they went in and out of the Village through a hidden entrance.
Awakening that needs to be reinforced by something, I need to ask the Elders about this.
Suzy thought after the controlled warriors returned to their Villages.
Suzy then enters the Zion Village, when she enters, she was greeted by the Villagers, knowing that they won, they are all very positive.
Madam Suzy, we would like to thank you for helping us in this Gallant Battle, we couldn’t have achieved something on this scale without you.
Chief Lady Hopei declared, thanking Suzy for fighting for their village.
Firstly, Suzy Tereus, we would like to reward you with something, this is also a lovely coincidence since we were supposed to gift it to you as well, on your birthday, we’ll just add another reward for you for fighting for us, that is not going to be taken lightly.
One of the Elders excitedly said.
Right, it’s my birthday.
Suzy said.
Technically, she and her twin brother, Nen, is celebrating their birthday today.
Happy Birthday, Suzy!!!
Everyone then greeted her after they heard; they were waiting for that cue before they all greeted her together.
I wonder what they will gift me involving my birthday?
Suzy thought, asking herself about what this gift is.
They then celebrated her birthday, threw a party for Suzy, but it’s also a celebration for their victories, all of them are giving thanks to Suzy and greeting her Happy Birthday.
And when Suzy and the Elders entered inside the Village Tower, together with the Chief Lady, they headed to the treasury of the Village Tower, and the Chief Lady has the keys to enter the treasury, hence why she’s there with them.
Suzy, the one you are talking to and the one that helped you in that fight, that’s Nen, right?
Yes, Elders, he was controlling a few of the neighboring village’s warriors, I didn’t even expect him to help me, I am still questioning why he did so, but I don’t want to bother my head with it right now.
Suzy answered the Elder’s question, confirming the Elder’s thoughts.
Why did he help you anyway? He has forgotten that he has already left our village before, he can’t just show up out of nowhere just to help now, it’s too late, after what he has done.
Chief Lady Hopei asked; she still bears resentment for Nen Tereus.
Nen Tereus killed The Chief Lady’s Uncle, a past warrior of Zion Village, and he was killed in Nen Tereus’s control, he was Chief Lady Hopei’s last family.
I assume there is a reason why, what he told me before I entered here is the culprit of the Southeast’s chaos.
Suzy told them.
Who did he mention, Suzy?
The Elders asked her.
It was a Commander of the Country, though he didn’t know who it was, he also didn’t tell me what he did to him, I’m hoping nothing too harsh.
Suzy replied to the Elder’s question.
They then entered the treasury after a few minutes.
Chief Lady Hopei then opened the door of the treasury and they all entered.
Please retrieve the Scroll of Angus; I wasn’t supposed to give that to you, but because of your victory after fighting for us, I will.
Elders?
Suzy asked after one of the Elders told the other Elders to retrieve a scroll.
I will be telling you about the Awakening.
Is this the same Awakening that Nen is talking about? Nen didn’t lie this time?
Suzy thought, asking herself after hearing what the Elders said.
The Awakening?
Suzy asked them.
The Awakening is a complex ritual for someone like you and your twin brother, Nen, you two are called the Guerre, you are not a mage, but you have the Mana of a mage, but you use those Mana for any kinds of abilities, just like your ability to control weapons and Nen’s ability to control others, you are Warriors with Mana-powered abilities, and because you use Mana instead of any other energies, your bodies will quickly whittle away the moment you become 25, starting tomorrow in approximately one year, your bodies will corrode because the Mana within you cannot be contained by your body, unless you establish your bodies and Awaken yourself to an even stronger being, but because it’s been more than a Centuries since a Guerre was Awakened, the Tribe of Angus has been very protective of the item that allows you to establish your bodies for Awakening, so that’s why I gift this to you, Suzy.
The Elder explained to Suzy about their race.
Because I’m a Metal being, a being that comprises with a material that can fuse with magic, the time I began training myself, I have become a Guerre, that’s why Axion awakened our Mana-powered abilities when we were kids, for us to master our abilities earlier and train it further, whether on our own or with others, of course, I trained on my own, I don’t know about Nen.
Suzy thought thoroughly after she got the realization.
The Elders then gave her the Scroll of Angus.
| Theist Country, Zao Thesis |
Afternoon arrived and Suzy entered the Theist Country, with what happened in the Southeast section, tension was increased, of course, after the Commanders that attacked the Zion Village surrendered, they pleaded for Suzy’s case, that it was, in fact, not Suzy’s responsibility that the Southeast was destroyed, and it was further backed by the fact that the Commander of the West told that most of the people were safe, so the case was further closed afterward.
But that doesn’t stop Suzy’s antagonists to increase their numbers and their hatred of Suzy.
Suzy then arrived at the Theist Center and met with the Commanders that helped her.
Madam Suzy, I thought you’ll never come.
The South Commander said, calling her.
I don’t back down with my words, Commanders, so shall we head inside and meet the Head?
Suzy said, asking them.
Though unfortunately, the West Commander that helped her, that was supposed to be Axion by what Nen said isn’t Axion when she saw her.
Did he lie to me? Or did Axion also control the West Commander?
Suzy thought, asking herself.
The 7 of them, Suzy, the West, the Southwest, the South, the Southeast, the East, and the Northeast Commanders then entered the Theist Head’s office, and since there are a lot of them, meeting with him, they decided to talk to the actual Meeting room of the Theist Center.
The Theist Head has approved of the Bounty being given to the Southeast section as a donation for its reparations; the Theist Head also removed the enemy mark on Suzy and the Zion Village after admitting that they are not the ones responsible for the chaos that happened in the Southeast Section.
The West Commander has proof for that that will solidify Suzy’s case since he was there when it happened, so he called some witnesses of how it happened.
It was a stupid thing that happened, a lamp malfunction due to it being too old to be used, so a grandmother used them without the knowledge, she clearly doesn’t know about since she’s old, so, after the failed lamp got destroyed, their house, the neighbors and the nearby Alcohol factory was destroyed, making it seem that someone caused the destruction, luckily, these people was there to inform everyone and have them all evacuate before the disaster surges.
The West Commander explained what happened.
The witnesses then vouched for the Commander and the case was pleaded.
Afterward, they went to the Southeast section, to not just give the donations and quicken the reparations, but to also ensure the people living in the Southeast section that she is not a threat and enemy of the Country, showing herself vulnerable to them and also helping them
Thank you for this, Madam Suzy, I’ve never thought that I’ll be working for you in this, after the Gallant Battle as well, though the disaster that happened caused a few, it doesn’t stop us to continue.
The West Commander said, thanking Suzy.
The Honor is mine, Commander; I’ve been living here longer, so it just makes sense for me to do this.
Suzy said.
He doesn’t sound like Axion, that’s good to know for now.
Suzy thought, reassured.
